 When we lived in Washington, I moved furniture constantly.  (I think I needed sunshine and blamed the furniture placement.) 

My boys (and their friends) would tell me it wouldn't work and why don't you just leave it where it is?  I would say, "Grab a corner of that couch.  We're moving it."

Multiple times I have found furniture on the side of the road or a giveaway from someone and Adam asks me things like, "But where are you going to put it?" and "I don't think that will work."

And I have said watch me.

Yesterday Matt and Riley were in my classroom picking up our old reading curriculum to make room for our new reading curriculum.  

My class was at computers so I chatted with them.  The topic of my new kiva came up and Matt said, "Where are you going to put it?"

Riley said, "Your classroom is going to go from clean and organized to a mess."

Like I told my family, I am fueled by doubt when it comes to furniture.  

When they were leaving, Matt said, "By the way, Thelma.  Your math scores* are looking really good."

I said, "Wait until you see my math scores after I have that kiva in here."

*Before I'm too self congratulatory, it is in no way all the math scores.  It's like thinking a candidate is winning by a landslide in a state where the metropolitan areas haven't been counted yet.
